Police have released CCTV images of two suspects following two armed robberies in the county last month.

Detectives are linking an attempted robbery and a robbery which both took place on Saturday 31 January.

The first happened at around 7:10am in The Street, Badwell Ash, when two men armed with what was described as a pistol, entered the post office as it was opening and demanded money from a member of staff.

The member of staff ran from the premises and he was followed by the offenders - who left in the direction of Hunston, although they did not take anything from the store.

It is believed that the men were driving an older style dark blue Peugeot.

The second incident took place at around 7:35am at the post office in The Street, Stanton. Two men, matching the description above, entered the store armed with a small handgun and a hammer and stole £100 in cash, along with 200 cigarettes and some tobacco which they put in a white bag.

A couple who died in a collision on Wednesday 29 January have been named by police as Lindsay and Georgina Wise, aged 85 years and 87 years from Michaelhouse Way, Stanton.

Emergency services were called at around 10:45am to the A143 at Great Barton near Bury St Edmunds to a report of a collision involving a Renault Megane and a HGV lorry. Two people within the car, Lindsay and Georgina Wise were pronounced dead at the scene.

Our family has yet to come to terms with the sudden loss of our parents, and our children's grandparents, in a tragic road accident. Kind, generous and unassuming, they brought us into this world and looked after us all, unfaltering, for more than 60 years. We now have to let them go, thankfully together, and with tremendous gratitude for their love, guidance and devotion.

An inquest has heard how a retired electrician died after locking himself inside his Suffolk home and setting it alight.

81 year old Donald Andrews had been involved in a dispute about electrical work carried out at the mobile home park where he lived at Stanton, near Bury St Edmunds.

The inquest heard that when firefighters broke into the property in June they found a trail of petrol soaked paper and a butane gas bottle in his lounge.

Suffolk Coroner Dr Peter Dean said Mr Andrews, had been concerned about electrical work that has been done at his home. Recording a narrative verdict, the Coroner said he was not able to conclude beyond doubt that it had been Mr Andrew's intention to take his own life.
